Recreational Accidents

When a severe injury occurs, negligence by a rental company, manufacturer, property owner, or other party may be at fault. The experienced attorneys at Presley & Presley investigate all aspects of recreational accident cases and ensure our client’s rights and the future safety of others are protected.

Challenges in Determining Legal Responsibility for Recreational Accidents

Millions of Americans enjoy recreational activities ranging from all-terrain vehicles and dirt bikes to boating, swimming, and water park activities. Requirements to operate some of these recreational vehicles vary by state and can depend on where the vehicle is being used. Because of this, enforcement of safe use and other protocols can also vary which can lead to serious accidents through negligent use. In the case of a water park, hotel pool or hot tub, or other swimming and water slide location, serious injuries or drowning may occur because the owner of the property failed to ensure it was safe for use. The vast majority of recreational activities go without mishap or disaster but when there is a catastrophic accident or wrongful death because of someone else’s negligence, that party should be held accountable for what occurred.
